History, Dance and Blessings with the Monacan Nation
10:30am-12:30pm, Blacksburg Farmers Market, 100 Draper Road
The Virginia Tech community welcomes tribal leaders, members and Chief Dean Branham of the Monacan Nation as we celebrate American Indian and Indigenous Heritage Month. Rufus Elliott, the first Monacan to attend and graduate from Virginia Tech will share an honor song, youth members of the Monacan Nation will perform traditional dance, and Karenne Wood will provide a summary of Monacan history. This gathering is especially meaningful as the Tutelo/Monacan Nations are the original stewards of the land for which Virginia Tech consumes.
